Overview

Rotterdam is unlike any other Dutch city. Bombed almost entirely to the ground during WWII, it rebuilt itself from scratch and became a laboratory for bold, experimental architecture. The result is one of Europe's most visually striking cities.

On this private walking tour, you explore the highlights of Rotterdam with your own guide. You visit the Old Harbor, and see the iconic Cube Houses up close. Your tour includes entry into one of them, so you can see for yourself what it looks like to live inside one.

Along the way, your guide tells the story of Rotterdam: from St. Lawrence Church, the only medieval building in the city center to survive the 1940 bombing, to the Witte Huis, the oldest skyscraper in Europe, to the spectacular modern Markthal.

This is a private tour. You set the pace, and if you have a special interest in a certain topic, just let your guide know.
